Beauitful Craftsmanship

The ring is almost exactly what is looks like in the photo and fits very well (ordered a size 10 and it fits perfectly on my middle finger). One of my favorite details is how the eagle's talons are holding the citrine gem in place. Novica always have beautiful pieces as this is my second ring I have ordered from here which I love. Highly recommend this piece.

Pretty Magical Ring

I just received my "Starling Romance" ring, and I am admiring the craftsmanship and the fine details of this lovely piece of jewelry.
On top of being simply beautiful, I also find the ring so delightfully 'exotic' and 'magical' . When gazing at the silver birds I think of a fairy tale. . This ring holds a very special charm.
I was very pleased , too, to experience the pretty wrapping and jewelery box, plus a wonderful , personal greeting.
Thanks so very much. I hope to be back for more some other time, and can warmly recommend this jewelry artist.

Wayan Asmana is a master silversmith from Sukawati, long regarded as Bali's most important jewelry center. Asmana learned his craft when he was in elementary school but only when he was in senior school did his father teach him how to make gold accessories. Wayan Asmana senior is unquestionably a renowned jewelry maker and designer.

When Asmana returned to his village after going away to college, he married his beautiful bride, Wayan Asmariani. Then he set about starting his own jewelry workshop where he designed and crafted a variety of gold and silver accessories. Business began to flourish and tourists were his main customers. Unfortunately, events such as the World Trade Center attacks and the Legian-Kuta bombing have had a very bad impact on Bali's tourism trade, which in turn has affected Asmana's work.

Setting up on his own is difficult. Asmana tells of the time, three years ago, when a foreign tourist bought almost $1,200 worth of products. When Asmana went to the bank to change the dollars into into rupiah, he was told the money was counterfeit. There was nothing Asmana could do about it.
